Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Health) (14:42): I can indicate to the chamber that the proper processes were followed in terms of the timing—when I was provided with advice from my chief of staff. I think perhaps it might be useful to outline the facts for those on the other side who may not have been listening to my contributions this week relating to this matter. Those outside this chamber may also be interested to avail themselves of the facts—facts which are somewhat lacking in what we are seeing from the opposition in relation to this matter. Senator Moore: On a point of order, Mr President: I raise the issue of relevance. Can you please draw the minister to consider the question which she was asked regarding timing and process—what she knew at what time. The PRESIDENT: I do draw the minister's attention to the question. The minister has 16 seconds remaining. Senator NASH: I answered the question in relation to timing. There is no conflict of interest. Senator Wong: On a point of order, Mr President: I again raise the question of relevance. The minister was asked a specific question about when she received the statement of private interest. She should answer it. The PRESIDENT: I cannot instruct a minister. I have said this on numerous occasions. I cannot instruct a minister how to answer a question. That is not possible under the standing orders. However, I have drawn to the minister's attention already, as a result of points of order, the need to address the question. The minister has six seconds remaining. Senator NASH: I have answered the question. It was given at the appropriate time.
